Not probably the most newsworthy item out there, but I remember this guy, David Walker, our Comptroller General. I blogged on him a while back on my personal page about his "60 Minutes" interview. Now comes the news that he's leaving his position early, to pursue what sounds like his passion: informing Americans in a way he couldn't as a government employee about the looming fiscal disaster.
Here's a video with more on the topic, a Glenn Beck interview with David Walker.
The most amazing figures? Each and every household in America would owe the government $400,000 to pay for our looming entitlement disaster. Socialist Security and Medicare obligations are left out of our stated deficit figures; if these were included (following normal corporate accounting standards) our deficit would be a whopping 69% higher than reported.
The American Federalist Blog focuses on the uniqueness and exceptionalism of the United States, the superior nature of our form of government, and the importance of both Americanism and Federalism to the renewal of this Republic. Among other things.
